Thanks, I feel the same way about the Candian flag.
When I was in Germany the other soilders would take the German flag at the end of the day and fold like an American flag. I learned how to fold a German flag.

Under my care I had a patient that was a Korean national who fought in Vietnam with American troops and was exposed to Agent Orange. He received treatment at our VA. I wanted him to have a Korean flag upon his passing, corporate bosses said no, I bought one myself and learned how to fold it. His Korean family was in tears at the gesture. Including his super stoic son-in-law.

I am actually agreeing with you. USSR was socialist not communist. Cuba has been run into the ground. China failed at socialism and has moved more towards capitalism. As has every other socialist attempt. The issue is socialism. Socialism has failed in any number of places. True capitalism has not failed. The only place recently true capitalism was practiced was at eBay. Notice I say WAS. (let the downvotes commence)
